Yea, it needs to be cleaned up a little. once I get it cleaned up and am happy with functionality I'll post the whole thing in the Macro Depot

Thanks again for the help

@ThatOtherGuy: Your Sub misses a "/declare HeadingDiff local" as second line to work properly.
When you add this it works great, thanks a lot for posting it. Oh, thanks also for your old twist_adv.mac, I changed some stuff (e.g. movebehind :) and replaced your twistroutine with one from Shuttle, but it's all based on your macro, nice work!

can a mob hit you if you are behind it, all the time? I'm pretty sure a person coudln't, so this would be nasty in PvP , lol.

Mobs can turn faster then you can strafe behind them, so can a player for that matter. Using this sort of macro in PVP is a good way to get a petition and get banned.

Thanks for the compliment on the twist_adv :) I'm working on redoing it in teh new veriable system - this time it'll be more my own than the last time, last time it was mjore a compilation of combat scripts from various bots and basic 4song twisting macro

The code I posted for the movebehind here was semi-psuedocode going on memory, while I was at school - It's been polished and optimized and bugshot since then :p
